As I’m sitting here tonight, watching the cams from Michael, I think back to my all time favorite song, Louis’ “What a Wonderful World”…and I want to believe that this still is a wonderful world…tonight it is…but it still takes each one of us to act unselfishly and responsibly in order for that to continue…we need to respect every living thing…from the smallest cell to the largest of us all, for it to remain a wonderful world for us all…and for all of the future generations to come…I have witnessed personally, devastating sadness and unbelievable joy, in my lifetime…but I think there still is time for our world to be a beautiful place for all of mankind.
I hope and pray that this means there is still hope for the rhinos in the wild, like this…for them to be wiped from the wild in my lifetime (I am 67), would truly be a great tragedy and legacy for my generation to leave behind.
I am stunned beyond belief…I didn’t know any were in the wild like this…I thought they were all in protective small reserves…this is absolutely the most wonderful thing to see here yet!!
Make that 5!!!
OMG…RHINOS!!!! THE FIRST ones I have ever seen here…3 of them
Finally…a huge bull elephant just showed up at the water hole!! He is drinking and having a ball spraying himself with the water…so fun to see!!
Haven’t seen any large mammals in a few days now…not quite sure why.
Kingfisher in the bushes, eating an insect…cool beans.
Aha…there is black-winged stilts wading in the water too looking for food. Storks here too; I am thinking that is the bird that lost its friend to the croc a few days ago.
I think these large white birds may well be storks…there is one lone one now too…it’s the one who lost his mate or friend to a croc a few days ago now…it is still alone.and the geese are the grey crowned, I believe.
You’d think with the rain that came and filled the water hole up, that you would see the elephants and larger animals here again, but none have showed up besides the warthogs and they are extremely wary when they are drinking from the water’s edge. The crocs must be getting pretty hungry by now. Heaven help the next animals of any size that show up for a drink…they will all need to be wary now.
A couple of warthogs just came to drink…crocs or gators here are very active…they all need to be careful…between the croc and the wild dogs, I have seen more killing here than at all the other sites for Africa here. Dangerous territory for the animals.
Amazing, but haven’t seen any big animals or the wild dogs this morning…only a couple of geese spatting over territory on the water.
The alligator or croc took out one of the wading birds this morning too; the other one seems lost without it’s mate? I am surprised to see it back on the water, after losing the other one. Hope it makes it and finds a new friend…
Looks like it’s going to rain off and on today…the wild dogs have left again, but a jackal now hangs around, trying to find something to fill his little belly,,,he or she is cute to watch digging for stuff.
The wild dogs have returned to the waterhole…they have found food here, so I think now they will keep returning until they find what they want…I was honestly hoping that they wouldn’t return, but I know they need to eat too, I just wish they could kill their prey before they try to eat it…they are like hyenas in that aspect, neither kill their prey before eating it…that is so sad to me, but I don’t think they have learned a way to do any different.
Well, the rain came back not long after the storm passed and it rained most of last night and into this morning…I’m sure anywhere in Africa can use the rain…it will fill up all the waterholes for all the animals and that makes me happy. Saw elephants earlier tonight and a couple of lone wildebeast, but thank goodness no wild dogs last night or this morning again.
They got a short thunderstorm this evening…no sign of the dogs as yet, but the elephants mingled around the water hole for a bit and then left.
Elephants tonight and what sounds like rain…that should make the elephants happy. Love seeing them in the wild like this.
Helicopter is trying to land somewhere nearby, evidently or maybe just flying over…scared all the wildlife away, even the dogs…
Believe it or not, they just made another kill…these dogs are relentless this morning…I cannot believe they can eat this much!! I love watching all of the animals, but this morning it has been somewhat sad to see so much killing…
The wild dogs just made another after an extremely loud commotion…it ended up with them killing and eating several of what sounded like a warthog family…the noise went on for several minutes,
I have been watching this particular site for a while now…this is the first time I have ever seen wild dogs here, but I did see where it was possible to see them here…usually all I have seen is different animals coming to drink…some even alone…these dogs have been milling around this water hole now for well over an hour now and seem to know that something else will come to drink too and they can attack and eat it like they did the deer and her baby earlier. So strange to see them like this…just milling around, sometimes stopping to drink from the waters edge…but never entirely leaving the site now.
It’s amazing, but even after quickly devouring those two deer, they are still hanging around…I think knowing that there will be more deer or prey they can attack and eat.
This morning I saw a pack of wild dogs chase a mother deer and her young baby into the water here…the pack of dogs took out the baby and I thought it was all over, but somehow they both seemed to get away, until more dogs joined in the attack…killed and ate them both on the side of the water here
You’re extremely lucky Janet, though it must’ve been quite a dramatic event to watch! Wild dogs are pitiless, and probably have the highest hunting success rate of any large African predator (over 80% of their hunts are successful)! It’s one of the rare animals still on my check list… what a thrill it would be to see them in their natural habitat!
Thanks for your valuable comments, keep them coming! 😉
Yes, Michael, I was thinking the same thing…I wasn’t expecting to see that at all…it was so loud and a little disturbing…I wanted so to reach out and save the mom and her baby…but I also realize it’s part of nature and they have to eat too…just wish they would find a way to kill their prey before the eat them.
Michael, I don’t know if you have seen this yet…but, there were 5 rhinos at the watering hole here tonight!!!
WOW, lucky you! Nope, I’ve never seen them on this camera yet… Nice spotting, well done! 🙂
And the hippo moved into view -finally, can always hear it but is very camera shy
Zebra and Blouwildebeest!
Thanks for the show!
Does that hippo ever come out of that water hole????
Today was eventful this morning about 8am mountain time in Canada I got to see a small family of elephants having a long drink…one lone hippo …2 rhinos…and some wildebeests…very cool to see 🙂
Lone elephant having a blast in the water! 🙂
